Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Theory Identifying the Locale of Columbus's Light, Landfall, and Landing On October 11, 1492, Christopher Columbus and his restless crew sailed west-southwest from sunrise to sunset; they had sailed 27 leagues that day and then changed back to their original course west. During the afternoon Columbus was convinced by signs of land that the end of their 33 - day voyage was near; after sunset, therefore, he ordered that the little fleet continue its course. It was 6 nights after full moon when these caravels sailed on into unknown waters. Although the Pinta was in the lead, Columbus, on the stern castle of the Santa Maria, was in a higher position than the others, to see whatever was ahead.
